The National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association has announced WOAI's Spurs play-by-play announcer Bill Schoening has been named Texas Sportscaster of the Year.

Kirk Bohls of the American Statesman in Austin was named Texas Sportswriter of the Year.

The National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association also announced Bill Raftery, Dick Schaap, Hal McCoy and Lesley Visser as inductees into the association's Hall of Fame.

NSSA members in each state nominate sportscasters and sportswriters for the state award.

Schoening has been the radio play-by-play voice of the Spurs since the 2001-2002 season.

Prior to his work with the Spurs, Schoening broadcast for the Texas Longhorns for 12 years, calling football, basketball, and baseball games. In addition to his work with the Longhorns and Spurs, he has also broadcast National Football League, Major League Baseball, and arena football games.

You suck Bitch.

I love his commentary on WOAI. I can picture exactly what is happening on the court just by his play by play.

Same here. He's so fast and fluid and exciting to listen to

"Manu that is why you do the voodoo that you do so well" is the gayest shit ever uttered on a broadcast. Schoening is shit, even Joel Myers was better.

[dabom]

Shut up you faggot. I love that manu piece.

:lol

[ElNono]

"That's a Manu tres"...

[ElNono]

Myers was great tbh....

[pgardn]

"That's a Manu tres"...

I bug the hell outta my wife with that phrase.

I like him. The guy works alone, pretty impressive.
He has become such a familiar voice for me my rating may not mean much.
He loves Manu.

And that's (slight pause) a Manu tres...

Jesus Bum, you can't get that upset about a guy that's fairly inert.

[Silver&Black]

"Splash landing from the Red Rocket"

[spurs10]

Apparently his peers agree with me, he's the best in the business. I have heard him call championships from my car. Congratulations to "Philly Billy!"

[FkLA]

That's my dude. Listened to him a bunch over the years when I would work nights and couldn't catch the tv broadcasts.

[spurs10]

I love his commentary on WOAI. I can picture exactly what is happening on the court just by his play by play. Yes, exactly. He's won several play by play awards as well.

He sucks. WOAI should crawl on their hands and knees back to Jay Howard, who was awesome.

[baseline bum]

Shut up you faggot. I love that manu piece.

You probably love black cocks too

[baseline bum]

"That's a Manu tres"...

So witty. He's Mexican and hey, I can count to three in Mexican too!

[baseline bum]

Spurs announcers better than Schoening:

Jay Howard
Terry Stembridge
Sam Smith
Joel Myers
Dick Stockton
Greg Papa
Dave Barnett
Bill Land


Spurs announcers worse than Schoening:

Greg Simmons (yes, that faggot called games on KSAT12 for like a quarter of one season)

[UZER]

Howard was a grade A prick, but his play by play was phenomenal. I could picture the entire floor, not just the player with the ball like with schoening.

12 years in with him and I still don't like his calls. And his need to come up with a phrase for every player is just trying too hard and cheesy.

[FkLA]

Did any of those guys ever win the MVP in sportscasting like Schoening just did ?

[baseline bum]

And Kobe won Finals MVP over Gasol. Your point?

I don't think even the biggest Kirby hater (me) would call a prime/near prime Kirby terrible. Overrated sure, but not terrible.

Schoening's play-by-play is great! It's all the repetitive catch phrases he tries to burn in your head that are terrible, particularly the one you mentioned. I cringe everytime I hear it.

[scanry]

Bill Schoening & Stan Kelly are both terrible tbh.

[unleashbaynes]

yes, this. his normal play by play is really good. then when he does the 'manu the voodoo that you do' and 'gday mate' shit when patty hits a 3.....thats cringy stuff lol

[Seventyniner]

He sucks. WOAI should crawl on their hands and knees back to Jay Howard, who was awesome.

:cry Memorial Day Miracle BANGgasm

Bill Schoening is shit. Jay Howard won all sorts of awards when he was broadcasting - not just state awards. Schoening is the reason Pop doesn't do pre-game shows anymore - he thinks Schoening is a moron. There is no debating that Jay Howard was an ego-bloated asshole and may have deserved to get fired from his talk show, but he was the best at what he did. I bet the people in here speaking up for Bill never even heard Jay Howard. It's been 14 years but Howard left a lasting impact.

Schoening is a clown with a mic and his catch-phrases are stupid. Here's just a few:

1. Remember the Alamo and remember your Spurs..they are champions again. What?!?
2. It's a Manu Tres!
3. Tres bien ! (Which means "very well" when translated.

The only basketball play by play man I ever heard better than Howard was Chick Hearn. What a waste to not use this guy's talents calling Spurs games.

[Budkin]

Congrats Billy! I don't get all the hate in here.

[unleashbaynes]

Plus bill's calls on huge plays are boring. Listen to his call on Kawhi's putback slam or Manu facializing the whole Heat roster. Just doesn't do the play justice at all. The national guys were better.

[hater]

some ppl take their sportscasting too seriously :lmao

[look_at_g_shred]

Dude has the best voice in the biz.

Goofy phrases are SOP for sport casters. You must hate them all then.

Schoening is like a hybrid of Mark Jackson and Magic's son. He should die of AIDS too.

Why don't you just infect him with HIV you fagot? :lol

Defending that Schoening seems important to you. Can you lay out why he doesn't suck big black cocks?

So you do have AIDs. Interesting. :lmao

[spurs10]

Dude has the best voice in the biz. Agreed! The best voice and four rings to show for it! The Spurs had to pry him away from the Longhorns. I'm sure that was a pretty good gig as well.

Wish they'd send his fat ass back

[UZER]

I hate his calls when someone hits a big shot. You want a quick, loud, one word exclamation point like yes! Bang! Gooood! And listen to the crowd react.

Instead we get these long...the shot is good!...that's a Manu tres!...blah blah blah, while the crowd reaction has already given away the excitement of the moment.

:lol not as important as attacking him is to you. and for Howard of all people.
